To the People of the Philippines:
In the inscrutable wisdom of Divine Providence, Manuel Roxas, first President of the Republic of the Philippines,
has been taken from us. The nation has lost a far-visioned statesman and courageous leader whose whole public life
was one consuming passion to see his country free, prosperous and happy.
The architect of the nation’s edifice in the period of recons tmction, he laid the solid foundation for a strong and
stable Republic, but did not live long enough to see the full fruition of his arduous patriotic labors.
His faith, courage and wisdom constitute a most precious heritage to his people. Though his voice is stilled, his
heroic life will be as a flame of lasting inspiration for generations to come to sustain our people, especially in the
hour of stress and peril.
It is meet that the deep grief which fills the heart of the Filipino people should find fitting expression.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Elpidio Quirino, President of the Philippines, do hereby appoint Sunday, April twenty-fifth,
nineteen hundred and forty-eight, the day of the funeral service for the dead Leader, and as a day of prayer
throughout the Philippines. I enjoin our people who cannot personally attend the burial ceremonies in the City of
Manila to assemble in their respective places of worship, there to bow their heads in submission to the will of
Almighty God, and to pay their tribute of love, reverence and respect to the memory of our great and good President
whose passing we all mourn.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the Republic of the Philippines to be
affixed.
Done in the City of Manila, this 21st day of April, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and forty-eight, and of
the Independence of the Philippines, the second.

WHEREAS, on November 19, 1949, a number of citizens, headed by Francisco Medrano, took up arms in the

WHEREAS, by resorting to arms the said persons have committed serious crimes against public order which are
defined and penalized under the Revised Penal Code as rebellion, sedition and disloyalty;
WHEREAS, criminal charges have been filed in court against a number of the rebels but the fact that such uprising
was motivated by the belief that the leaders and members thereof had just grievances against the duly constituted
authorities is not a valid defense under the laws of the Philippines;
WHEREAS, Francisco Medrano and some participants in the above-mentioned uprising, who have for sometime
lived beyond the pale of the law, have voluntarily presented themselves with their arms and ammunitions to the
agents of the law, recognized the authority of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines and the duly
constituted officers and agents thereof, and have pledged loyalty and obedience to the same so that they may enjoy
the rights and protection guaranteed by the Constitution;
WHEREAS, the return of the rebels to their homes and the resumption by them of their lawful pursuits or
occupations as loyal and law-abiding citizens will accelerate the economic development and rehabilitation of the
country, restore peace and order and promote the welfare and happiness of the people in general; and
WHEREAS, to achieve such a desirable result, without further loss of time, efforts and blood, it is deemed
necessary, just and wise for the Government to forgive, and forego the prosecution of said rebels for the crimes of
rebellion, sedition and disloyalty.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Elpidio Quirino, President of the Philippines, in accordance with the provisions of Article
VII, section 10, paragraph 6, of the Constitution, do hereby declare and proclaim an amnesty in favor of Francisco
Medrano and the individuals who participated with him in the Batangas uprising forthe crimes, of rebellion, sedition
and disloyalty, as defined and penalized under the Revised Penal Code, subject to the condition that the rebels shall
surrender to the Constabulary authorities in the Province of Batangas, together with their arms and ammunitions,
and other military equipment and supplies, within fifteen days from the date of the concurrence by the Congress of
the Philippines in this proclamation. Cases now pending in court against the said rebels for the crimes herein
mentioned shall proceed in accordance with legal procedure without regard to this proclamation, but the accused
therein may set up as defense the amnesty herein granted.

TERMINATING THE STATE OF WAR WITH GERMANY
WHEREAS, on December 11, 1941 the United States of America declared that a state of war existed between the
United States and Germany;
WHEREAS, by virtue of the relationship existing between the Commonwealth of the Philippines and the United
States of America the Philippines acquired a belligerent status at the moment the state of war was declared between
the United States and Germany;
WHEREAS, before December 11, 1941, the Philippine Army was inducted into the service of the Armed Forces of
the United States of America;
WHEREAS, on June 14, 1942, the Philippines became a signatory to the Declaration by the United Nations,
otherwise known as the Allied War Pact, and thereby pledged to employ its full resources, military or economic,
against the common enemies and promised not to make separate peace or armistice with any of them;
WHEREAS, the three Western Occupying Powers, namely, the United States, the United Kingdom and France
agreed in September, 1950 to proceed with domestic measures required to terminate the state of war with Germany
and expressed the hope that other countries will take similar action;
WHEREAS, the aforementioned occupying Powers have ‘suggested that the Philippine Government, if it is still at
war with Germany and agrees to the desirability of terminating the state of war with that country, might wish to
coordinate its timing of such action with those of the three occupying Powers;
WHEREAS, the three occupying Powers, in agreeing to proceed with domestic measures to terminate the state of
war between themselves and Germany have assumed that:
(1) Neither the Occupation nor the supreme authority in Germany of the occupying Powers is dependent upon the
continuance of a state of war; their status in Germany rests upon the complete defeat of Germany and the
assumption of supreme authority rather than upon the rights of belligerents occupying enemy territory in time of
war;
(2) Termination of a state of war should not be given a form such that it might be interpreted as a separate peace
settlement with Western Germany; termination by domestic action in no way prejudices a peace settlement;
(3) Domestic measures by France, the United States and the United Kingdom terminating a state of war will apply to
the whole of Germany and to all German nationals.
WHEREAS, recent developments in world affairs have made it desirable that the state of war with Germany should
be terminated in order to integrate the German people into the community of the peace-loving peoples of the world;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Elpidio Quirino, President of the Philippines, upon the recommendation of the Secretary of
Foreign Affairs, have, on this date and in coordination with the action of the Allied Powers, sent a message to the
Congress of the Philippines recommending the approval of a resolution terminating, for domestic purposes, the state
of war between the Philippines and Germany as of July 9, 1951, without prejudice to the conclusion hereafter of a
formal peace settlement with Germany. In view hereof, all administrative agencies of this government are hereby
enjoined to refrain from any action which night impair the projected temination of the war as of this date, pending
appropriate action by the Congress of the Philippines.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the Republic of the Philippines to be

A DECLARATION CONCERNING THE PROTECTION OF CULTURAL PROPERTY IN CASE OF ARMED
CONFLICT.
The Government of the REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES,
Convinced that the loss of work of cultural importance is a spiritual impoverishment, not only for the nation
possessing it but for the entire international community; Recognizing that, through the development of the technique
of warfare, cultural property is in increasing danger of destruction, and that it is the duly of all States to take steps to
safeguard it from the risks of destruction in the event of armed conflict;
Guided by the principles established in the Hague Conventions of 1907 and in the Washington Convention of 15
April 1935, concerning the protection, during armed conflict, of cultural property;
Recognizing the importance of the action undertaken by UNESCO in order to arrive at an international convention
on this subject,
Hereby declares, pending the entry into force of such a Convention, its willingness to conform with the following
mles:
ARTICLE 1
The Government signing the present Declaration considers that it is the duty of every State to organize the
protection of cultural property, situated within its territory, against the destmction which may occur in the event of
armed conflict.
Cultural property shall be deemed more especially to mean;
(a) property, movable or immovable, public or private, constituting monuments of art or history: works of art;
historical documents; precious books; scientific collections;
(b) all buildings whose main and effective purpose is to house the movable objects mentioned under (a);
(c) monumental sites of outstanding importance.
ARTICLE 2
The signatory Government agrees to take all reasonable precautions to spare cultural property in the course of all
military operations. With regard to immovable cultural property, the Government will abstain, as far as practicable,
from using it and its surroundings for purposes likely to expose it to attack.
ARTICLE 3
The signatory Government undertakes to issue to its armies such recommendations and instructions as may secure
respect for cultural property, without regard to the nationality of such property, and to take such steps as may be
necessary to prevent the looting or damaging thereof.
ARTICLE 4
The signatory Government undertakes to refrain from any acts of hostility directed against any refuges that a
Government may have organized to shelter movable cultural property threatened by military operations, provided,
however, that such refuges
(a) are situated at a distance from the most likely theatres of military operations; from any probable military
objectives; from any main line of communication, and from any large industrial centres;
(b) are not used, directly or indirectly, for military purposes;
(c) are communicated to the Director General of UNESCO.
ARTICLE 5
The signatory Government declares its readiness to consider, with any other Government, special agreements
concerning special measures for the protection of certain cultural property, the safeguarding of which is of
exceptional importance for the international community.
ARTICLE 6
1. The signatory Government considers it desirable that protecting marks be affixed to the refuges designated in
Article 4 and to certain immovable cultural property which is not, in any circumstances, to be used directly or
indirectly for military purposes, and in whose vicinity there are no installations which night be regarded as military
objectives.
2. The above-mentioned mark shall take the form of a light blue triangle inscribed in a white disc. The location and
visibility of the protecting marks shall be left to the discretion of the military authorities.
ARTICLE 7
The signatory Government will affix protecting marks in accordance with the provisions of Article 6, and will take
steps to prevent any abuse of protecting marks in the territories under its authority.
ARTICLE 8
1. In the event of foreign military occupation, the authorities of the occupied territory shall bring to the notice of the
occupying troops the immovable cultural property of which the preservation is the concern of the entire international
community.
2. In the event of military occupation- of foreign territory, the national staff appointed to preserve and guard cultural
property shall be retained in their employment, unless there is some legitimate reason for their dismissal. They shall
be protected at their places of duty, and in the course of any journeys they may have to make when accompanying
cultural property, by the safeguards necessary for the performance of their duty.
3. In the event of military occupation of foreign territory, the authorities responsible shall, after consultation with the
competent national staff, take all necessary steps for the preservation of cultural property which may be damaged.
Such measures shall not, however, except with the full agreement of the competent staff, be other than strictly
preservation.
ARTICLE 9
The signatory Government agrees that cultural property shall be immune from reprisals.
ARTICLE 10
The signatory Government reserves the right to make observance of the rules set forth in Articles 1 to 8 conditional
on reciprocal treatment from the opposing party. Should this condition not be fulfilled, the signatory Government
will request the Director-General of UNESCO to set up an International Commission to verify the acts of which the
opposing party is accused and which are alleged to be in breach of the principles set forth in the present Declaration.
ARTICLE 11
Should the signatory Government consider itself no longer in a position to comply with the foregoing provision, it
will immediately inform the Director-General of UNESCO.
ARTICLE 12
The signatory Government requests the Director-General of UNESCO to communicate the text of this Declaration to
all States,
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the Republic of the Philippines to be affixed.
Done in the city of Manila, this 21st day of November, in the year Our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty-three, and
